No. but there was a time when, I was post-parthum, about to be diagnosed with MS and my father and mom were looking into places for me. I was soooo exhausted, that I was complaining that the tv just seemed louder than usual. Was drinking, at the time too...

yeah...that didn't happen, and isn't going to happen. What were they going to do, try to get me committed, to realize, hey wow, she just needs to not drink? Not have 3 kids in diapers with a husband that was working 60+ hours a week at the time, oh and not have MS fatigue?! Lack of sleep, some depression and anxiety, but oh the things they called my neuro up on. No wonder, he referred me to the pdoc, in the first place(i.e., girl, get yourself out of danger, by having a pdoc in your back pocket)

Do I fear landing in the psyche ward?! NO, not any more!!
